Thanks Irene, I never really was a fan of cut glass, but recently, I am finding some uses for it. Thanks for checking out my blog!

Beautiful! I've enjoyed reading your post. This cut-glass basket vase in the cellar store room is really beautiful together with the different attractive flowers. Thanks for sharing this one. Lawn Care

It is wonderful to see such ornate flowers from a special era, they remind me of my childhood, visiting my grandparents home.
I dream of growing flowers like this and hope to aspire to this standard. I too have attempted to grow the bells of Ireland, I live in hope!

Thanks Mark – How nice would that be! But then, there would be no Furbys in the world!

Jason – Painted Tongue seed ( Salpiglossis) can be found, not at stores, but in seed catalogs. I ordered mine from Thompson & Morgan.

Thank you for your article in the Pacific Bulb Society quarterly. Informative article. You need to be a full-time nurseryman and blogger!

I just discovered your blog and most impressed by the storied past of your garden. I left all my extended family in Australia when I came here as a teenager. Love the arrangement and will subscribe.

Beautiful. I especially like the painted toungue – do they still sell that? And the coral Shirley poppy.

Will you hate me if I tell you how amazing my bells of Ireland are looking right now? I can grow all these things pretty easily but it is much more impressive when you grow them so well.
